Christine Keegan
Such incredibly sad news tonight. Christine Keegan, who lost her two daughters Mary and Martina in the Stardust fire has died. Mrs Keegan campaigned tirelessly for a fresh inquest into the disaster. She died without seeing the results of her campaigning realised. pic.twitter.com/LnJXAceSmT

In this 2014 photo (top), Christine Keegan is outside Leinster House after a meeting between Stardust relatives and then Tanaiste Eamon Gilmore.
She holds a picture of the daughters she lost on February 14, 1981, Martina (left) and Mary, along with images showing the fire at the Stardust coming through the roof 10 minutes before the Fire Brigade were called.
Aoife Grace Moore adds:
There are very few remaining parents left of the 49 young people who died in the fire. A new inquest has been granted but stalled due to COVID19. Families are calling for the inquest to be expedited ASAP.
